9 years where he did some good things but results were average to poor.
For him to want a change would be completely normal.
For the team not to back up the truck with term, money or control would also be normal.
For there to be tension in the room and between leadership after a horrible season, still normal.
If you look for the places where everyone is happy and getting extended they tend to be winning. Or at least exceeding expectations. Tre was among the longest serving GMs in the league. He was in the group with CLB and WIN but with somehow even less success, and those GMs should probably be gone too.

I'd say maybe you have something...except we just went through a season that:
- set a new NHL record for biggest production drop-off by a player (Huberdeau)
- longest serving, great community guy asked for a trade like 10 months and then seemed very noncommittal in returning to the organization after his contract concludes
- our #1 centre when asked if he'd be open to an extension responded with "I have one year left, that's all I'll say"
- our GM walked away from a contract offer...which may be one of the first times if not the first time that such a situation has been confirmed. The Flames wanted him to return.
- we lost our two best players within a couple weeks of each other last summer
Yes, winning soothes all. So what's the plan to start winning at a consistent basis for the first time in something like 30 years?
